The Power of the Cross (free PDF)
Amy Welborn, who has written many wonderful books herself, is giving away a free eBook edition of The Power of the Cross: Applying the Passion of Christ to Your Life (Our Sunday Visitor, 2004).

The book was written by her late husband, Michael DuBruiel, and now that it is of print, Amy is giving it away. This isn't a contest or drawing--Amy is simply making the book available for free. If you haven't yet chosen a good book for Lent this would be a great choice.

According to the publisher's description, you'll learn to see Jesus' suffering and death not as some spectacle or theatrical production, but as a blueprint for how to live your life. You'll experience the radical teaching of Our Lord presented in a series of concrete steps that you can take at your own pace including:


  • How to follow Christ more closely.
  • God’s unique purpose and mission for you.How to overcome the evil that you have suffered at the hands of others.
  • To find God’s presence in difficult times.
  • The keys to unleashing the power of the Cross in your life.
Day by day for five weeks, here are the prayers, the reflections, the stories, and the teaching that will help you not only better comprehend the power of Christ's great sacrifice for you, but come to a better understanding of why and how to accept that power now.
